Pastor
Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG), has predicted that the February 14 presidential election will be
violent-free.According to Adeboye, who spoke in Awka, on Thursday, during the
Eminent Personality Lunch at the Best Western Meloch Hotel, Awka, Anambra
state, God will take control of the elections.
Tribune
reports that he urged Nigerians not to fear or anticipate any violence in spite
of the growing panic associated with the elections.Quoting from Psalms 121:4,
the man of God said nothing would happen before, during and after the
presidential election.He however called on Nigerian politicians to pray
fervently and seek God’s face saying: “God gives power and whoever He desires,
He gives it to.”Adeboye begged them to play by the rules of the game.
“We
should be contented with what God gives or what He will give us, and it is not
a do or die affair,” he said.
The
cleric added that he was not a politician neither does he belong to any
political party but was speaking the mind of God on the issue The state
governor, Willie Obiano was represented by the Deputy Governor, Dr Nkem Okeke
and the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief Oseloka Obazi.Pastor
Adeboye had earlier said only God knows who Nigeria’s next president will be.
It would be recalled that Pastor Adeboye, in
his New Year prophecy to the nation, had said he would keep to himself what God
told him would characterize the political atmosphere of the year.One of
Adeboye’s pastors, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is contesting the elections as the
running mate of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).Osinbajo had reportedly said after he was announced
as Buhari’s running mate that he consulted Pastor Adeboye before accepting the
APC offer.
